Is this renaming something that the ebuild does?
I don't know - it should. I installed it manually (that was still under SuSE).
And if so what happens when you go back to the 2.4 series - do the new tools work for that or do you have to rename them again?
No, the new utils will check what kernel is running and transparently call the old ones if it's 2.4 or earlier.

Do you have up-to-date module-init-tools? Module loading will otherwise fail. The old tools (modprobe, insmod, rmmod, lsmod) must be renamed to xxx.old because they will be invoked when booting pre-2.6. Also, some modules have been renamed, so you will have to provide an adjusted /etc/modprobe.conf. Best check /var/log/messages to see *what* exactly fails (for me it was e.g. psmouse which was previously called mousedev).
